Player | Position | Week 1 Stats | Outlook |
Braden Awls
Braden
Awls
6'1" | 185 lbs | DB
Toledo Central Catholic | 2023
State
OH
Central Catholic 2023 | WR/DB | Three receiving TDs vs. St.EDs | Expect the Toledo commit to continue to play lights out on both sides of the ball. The challenge will get more rigid versus a battle-tested Benedictine. |
Terrance Alexander Pickerington Central 2024 | RB | 142 rushing yards and 3 TDs | “TA” will be a household this fall across the state. On limited touches, he showed that he can be a force and will garner more college looks over the next couple of weeks. Week 2 on the road with Elder will be a showdown. |
Dshawntae Jones
Dshawntae
Jones
6'0" | 220 lbs | RB
Glenville | 2024
State
OH
Glenville 2024 | RB | 140 rushings yards and 3 TDs | This may be one of the strongest backs in the 2024 class of RBs. I nicknamed this kid Bettis Jr, and in week one, he took off. His talent and a robust Tarblooder defense will make for a magical season. |
Kelandre Jones Fremont Ross 2023 | RB | 120 rushing yards and 1 TD | The power back out of Ross is more experienced and showed that he could be elusive vs. Tiffin in week one. Expect another big week for Jones as they take on Toledo Start, who gave up over 200 rushing yards in week one. |
Jasen Kelly
Jasen
Kelly
6'2" | 205 lbs | LB
Whitmer | 2024
State
OH
Whitmer 2024 | LB | 4 TFL, two sacks, 1 INT, 1 Defensive TD | Jasen had a Defensive player of the year type of game in week one. Kelly is athletic and challenging, which allows him to earn even bigger P5 offers. Lawrence Taylor vibes are what you can expect from the stud backer. |
Jermaine Mathews
Jermaine
Mathews
6'0" | 180 lbs | DB
Winton Woods | 2023
State
OH
Winton Woods 2023 | DB | 4+ PBUs, 2 FF, 2 FR | Mathews is a Shutdown corner; He can back it up on the field. Mathews is a class above many DBs across the country and has continually proved it. Expect his stats to go down only because teams will likely not challenge his side of the field going forward—the cream of the crop player. |
